Sabina said: "When they told me that they couldn't help me get my phone, I felt terrible and awful. And when they told me that no one had been assigned to the case I had to ask them if they were serious. "I'm lucky that I know a lot of people and have friends on Facebook who helped. They seemed to care more than the police." The woman had been walking home alone from the Wardwick pub, in Derby city centre, when she was punched in the face three times and had her handbag and phone stolen from her, before being kicked and punched on the floor by two individuals. The assault only ceased when a passing food delivery driver stopped, causing the attackers to flee. Sabina, of Derby, said that she thought that she might die in the attack: 'After they'd stolen my phone and bag I thought they'd leave because they had everything. But then they started kicking and punching me. It did feel like they were going to kill me becau){kind=link}
Sabina was violently assaulted and mugged in Derby but took matters into her own hands to track down the vile assailants
A resolute woman who was assaulted used another Apple device to track down her iPhone – and the muggers who attacked her.
Sabina, who doesn’t want to give her surname, had her phone and handbag stolen in the vicious street attack last Saturday evening.
The 33-year-old woman told police she could see the location of her device on Apple’s Find My iPhone app but she claims she was told their hands were tied as there was no exact address.
So the determined victim enlisted the help of two friends, who tracked down the handset and chased down the suspected attackers who ditched the phone and fled.
